Question

Why is it dangerous to jump out of a moving vehicle? How can the danger be minimised? Explain.

Answer 1

1. A man jumping out from a moving vehicle holds the inertia of motion.
2. As the man lands on the ground, feet come to rest instantly while the upper part of the body continues to move due to inertia of motion.
3. Therefore, the person may fall forward.
4. So, it is very dangerous to jump out of a moving vehicle.
5. It can be minimized by moving out of the vehicle when it comes fully to rest.
